Benched 390 today, at 181.
Then I met up with a younger cousin who is 12 years younger than me.
Last time I saw him he was a 3ft kid. Now he is 6'5.
I'm fucking 5'7 and got dwarfed.
Funny shit, my reaction was: Fuck you're tall, and his was "I don't remember you being so short".
>>40040648

My lifts are around 245 bench, 345 squat, and 400 deadlift. For the last months I've been doing Greg knuckols and candycucks. Any other program suggestions? I had great success with canditos for squats, good bench with Greg knuckols, mediocre deadlift for both.
>>40040698
i'd still be on TM with those numbers
have you looked at sh-memeko
>>40040679
I highly, highly recommend you visit a doctor to check your wrist.
As for the arch, the more you arch the relatively lower you should touch. The less arch, the relatively higher you should touch.
If you can arch more, then you might be touching in a good place.
The suggestion for spoto or floor press is to reduce the range of motion. My eyes tell me the point that triggers pain is at the bottom of the movement, so limiting it should stop the pain. However, I might be wrong here if your issue is actually something serious. In that case, you really need the doctor.

One of the defining characteristics for a girl is a vagina. Another one is having 2 X chromosomes. You have neither of those. You are therefore not a girl.
Don't forget to stretch your ankles and calves.

A relatively vertical shin angle is desirable in a lowbar squat so ankle/calf flexibility, while nice, isn't really important.

For what its worth that dietmar tdee shows 3500 for me and Ive been eating 3k while gaining 0.5 kilos a week.
5 days in the gym
>>40041110
Online calculators are made for normies.
That text is straight up from Dietmar's course for IPF coaches.
If you're powerlifting, I'd trust something made by one of the biggest coaches in powerlifting will work better for you than something made for fat regular people.
Keep in mind that, in any case, both things are just approximations.
There are ways you can actually calculate and test your own personal caloric maintenance requirement, but I'm not an expert on it. Google or /fit/ will be more helpful here.
>>40041116
Where did you hear that?
>>40041150
What multipliers did you use? Remember that for training HARD he recommends 0.2-0.3x. And this is the guy that trains people with high frequency.
So it's likely you're just overrating the multiplier you need.
>>40041174
>What multipliers did you use?
1.4x.
>>40041132
Who is that?
>>40041174
>Where did you hear that?
It's general anatomy? Breaking at, and "staying in" the hips results in a bottom squat position fairly similar to the beginning of a deadlift pull, which uses a quite vertical shin angle.
Additionally, the classic "squat like you're sitting on the toilet" cue that coaches like Tate like using, also ends with pretty vertical shins.
t. I'm on the toilet right now and just checked

>>40041278
There's not that much dorsiflexion in Fil's squat either. His shins aren't a perfect 90 degrees, but they're not at an angle that would require stretching to reach either.
>>40041278
You still look like a man.
>>40041333
I wasn't talking about stretching, I was talking about the "nearly vertical" thing.
Fil's and your pic's shins are far from vertical. They are almost as inclined as they would be in a highbar squat.
Here's a lowbar from a good angle.
>>40041333
Well I needed to, to fix mine. Is much better now. Just if your ass is pushing right back and you're getting hip flexor pain.
Pls wish me luck on my skills test friends. Supposed to do 520+ squat today :/
>>40041358
Bby, from the very beginning I've been describing it as "relatively" vertical, as in, much more vertical compared to weightlifting.
I am aware that there's SOME ankle flexion in most lowbar squats, and have not denied it.

Who's a beginner?

But it's not. Unless you're comparing it to a front or overhead squat.

He's an autistic Finnish manlet who is a moderator on a Finnish bodybuilding forum. He's also a meme because he has been working out for nearly 10 years and benches only 80 kg. He frequently complains about getting no gains but refuses to listen to anybody. His routine consists of more volume and supersets than the routines of 10 IFBB pro BBers and he eats less than a squirrel.

ikr, beautiful technique. Also tough back.
I have asked this on /fit/ already twice without answer. It's like no one cares.
1. What fat gain per pound of muscle gain do you find acceptable? Is 3 lbs fat per 1 lbs muscle gain bad?
2. Which outcome do you prefer: no growth at all or dirty growth?
3. Would it affect your answer if dirty growth turned out to be 10x faster than clean growth? How much faster must it be to become worth it for you?

I don't mind putting on fat if it means getting big and strong, but everyone will answer that question differently. As for the golden ratio, i don't know enough about the science behind diet and nutrition to answer. I just eat beef and eggs until my deadlift gets bigger.

Maybe let me rephrase my terribly uninteresting question.
I made the following gains:
⦁ 4 kg muscle (8.8 lbs),
⦁ 10 kg fat (22 lbs),
⦁ 5 kg water,
⦁ 2 kg bone.
Should I hang myself?
>>40041476
Which program should I do on a cut ? Have run Canditos 6 Week program for 3 cycles now and made good gains on it. But I might start cutting for summer soon and I dont know if it is really my best option to stay on that program. Are there any programs designed around a cut ?

>>40041730
knee up is my weak spot, so ive been implementing rack pulls from right below knees. today i pulled 5 plates for 2 reps. curious as to how much i could actually deadlift.
There is little to no correlation. Could be 100lbs less, could be 100lbs more (unlikely though), could be anywhere in between or even more or less.
Really? I can rack pull WAY over 100lbs more than I can dl.
I'm the opposite, I can pull more from the floor than racks
That's because your deadlift doesn't suck.
hmm i figured it would be different for everybody. few weeks ago i pulled 475 right past my knees and got stuck, today i pulled that 3 times from right below knees and then went on to 495 and got that for 2. guess the only way to know is to try it.
Rack pulls suck.
I dont think there is much correlation.

Because no one has even told me if time frame matters to them, even though I explicitly asked.
It's beginners gains FYI and I'm slightly embarrassed to reveal the time frame because everyone will start to think I'm a troll.

Now the shocking part which I wanted to withhold to prevent controversy is that I made these gains since 3 January 2017 (so in less than two weeks). Not saying it to boast or to anger anyone but because you asked about this, you gave me a helpful response and you deserve a helpful response too.
Not sure what explains my result better: muscle memory gains or beginner gains. I had much more muscle in the past. The same progress had taken me 2 months when I was young.

>>40042206
Because your gut was acting as a trampoline for push ups while it only weighed you down on pull ups, obviously.
>>40042206
you pull your entire weight on the pullup. you probably lost more fat than you did muscle so you effectively pull less now and therefore can do more repetitions
>>40042187
Similar growth took me 2 months when I was young. Admittedly, cleaner growth.

Get your powerclean to 315
>>40042198
Wow you sound exactly like me.
I'm doing the route of leave everything behind and joining the military. There's nothing left for me here but sadness so I'm hoping the drastic change in lifestyle and discipline will help make me into a person that doesn't completely suck.
Try as hard as you can to get a hobby that you are passionate about. Anything. And pursue it. I tried this for the past year and failed, so hopefully you can do better.
Are you lonely? I most definetly was and still am. Even when I went out with the few close friends I have I wanted nothing more than to be back home sitting on my ass. It's just how we are, so all we can do is live with it and accept ourselves.
I've also experienced the brain fog you talk about and still do. It's a result of anxiety, depression, lethargy, etc. I'm going to assume you do nothing but sit on your ass all day and make no strides forward? Doing that for a long enough time will melt your brain into fucking mush. Mine still feels like that mush I described. This is where getting a hobby, job or just general direction in life will help rebuild thta brain and dissipate the fog you feel.
I spent countless fucking hours staring at my fucked up mug in front of the mirror monolouging to myself about this shit. If you wanna talk tell me and we can PM or some shit. Life's hard brutha.
>>40042339
Can you show a video where they are done properly and also explained?
I also felt time kind of good, but i think i never did them right regardless.
Some say more the barbell up, keep torso static, be parallel to the floor with upper body - other say pull the bar towards the hip, be like 45 degrees, bla.
Cant make out what is right.
>>40042317
Yeah cause I'm part of the community. I was mostly referring to the new shitposters that show up every week. They come in for a quick shot of attention, if you ignore they leave because they aren't involved or care about powerlifting at all.
I did leave though. Guess you weren't around back then.
>>40042343
>>40042292
lmao
>>40042319
Define upper back.
Thoracic spinal erectors?
Traps?
Lats?
Cause each one is has different solution.
>>40042319
Facepulls, heavy-ass rows, chins, and shrugs.
At least 100 reps total per lift.
The other day i had such a joocy upper back pump that I had to fight to even get my shirt off. Felt amazing.
>>40042316
no
>>40042400
That looks delicious, anon.
>>40042319
bent over rows, shrugs, facepulls, pullups, deadlifts, neck fuckers
>>40042186
>i just dont understand how you can gain bones when youre not growing anymore.
Maybe in the same way in which elderly women reverse loss of bone mass following proper HRT and weight training? Or maybe bones get thicker from weight training? I don't know much about it.
>and the water is just temporary and very easily influencable so i dont understand why you would mention that
Because many people obsess about water. They say things like, "it's not muscles, it's all water from creatine". So I included water to show that I can discern muscle growth from water.
>good to hear, keep it up
Thanks.
>>40042374
Man Prutus, that was heavy.
Kind of makes me feel bad that you're gonna have to shove a chili up your ass in a couple months.
Sorry man.
>>40042374
I love you pruty <3
Are you feeling any better nowadays at least?
>>40042374
Wow I had no idea he was like this.
You know that brain fog is from being disengaged. You can study anything if you're willing to, just find a way
has trappy spewed mental retardation yet? he gives powerlifting a bad rep and it pisses me off.
>posts a webm of benching from the IPF
>ass is literally nowhere close to being on the bench
>YOU'RE NEW TO THE SPORT
daily reminder that trappy is legitimately an idiot.
>>40042355
hepburn out of ten
>>40042373
The rippetoe style? Are you meme'ing or serious?
>>40042384
Everything. I want to improve muscle mass and strength in my upper back entirely. I want to do a certain set of exercises everytime i decide to work on upper back.
>>40042396
>>40042416
So you would go really hard on it? Not just like 3 sets of some heavy rows, but literally killing it?
How often a week would you try hitting it?
>>40042459
I'm serious. If you can rack 315 from the floor. You're good
>>40040863
the only time it's hard to eat is when you eat the same shit every day for months ive had ENOUGFH OF THIS FUCKING CHICKEN BRESt

>I did leave though. Guess you weren't around back then.
No senpai, I post sapporo IPF legal, hope you liked the Sheiko edit
>>40042442
Uh... Are you sure that happened exactly the way you're describing?
Because that sounds unlike me and I kinda know myself.
If it did though, I apologise.
Here's an explanation:
The rules in the IPF only determine that you just need to have "a part" of your butt touching the bench. As in, you don't need to sit down, you can keep it high and just slightly touching it in order to get a higher arch.
Sometimes as spectators we don't have the same angle as the referees, so we judge whether the butt was on the bench or not differently from how the refs (with a better angle) judge.
>>40042459
Upper back isn't a single thing. It's a collection of multiple different muscles, and to train each one you need different exercises.
If you're not looking for any specific muscle, then just do all the major compounds and you'll be good.
>>40042442
>>40042505
So sometimes what looks like an obvious ass off the bench for us, looks fine for the refs who are seeing it from a different angle.
>>40042459
Yes.
At least twice per week, no more than four times. Pick no more than two out of the ones i listed to do each day--doing 1200 reps per week for your upper back is a good way to fuck your recovery.
>>40042459
>So you would go really hard on it? Not just like 3 sets of some heavy rows, but literally killing it?
>How often a week would you try hitting it?
A
deadlifts 5/3/1
bent over rows 5x5
neck fuckers 3x8-12
B
weighted pullups 5x5
shrugs 3x8-12
facepulls 3x8-12
if i had no access to internet and my life depended on it
id hate not doing squats, ohp and bench
>>40042417
okay
>>40042421
>Kind of makes me feel bad that you're gonna have to shove a chili up your ass in a couple months.
i giggled a bit
>>40042459
>isolating upper back
just do squats, bench, ohp and deadlifts. as for isolations throw in some shrugs if you like
>>40042421
Kek dw about it nigga. We never did shake on it anyway ;')
If you send me the pepper I will do it, however. Out of the kindness in my own heart. And for the memes ofc.
>>40042435
Better, I'm just having a hard time overcoming guilt and things I did or didn't have the balls to do in the past in terms of family, friends and my own personal journey of development.
I'm a shitty person at heart and I feel disingenuous about a lot of things I do or say. Really, I just crave camaraderie and companionship but feel like I don't offer much to others since I have such a hard time just standing up on my own two feet.
My favorite thing to tell myself when I'm feeling down is, 'this too shall pass.' It's comforting knowing all the shit and muk I feel like I'm drudging through will only be a temporary struggle and in the future things will be better.
>>40042441
I've been doing a lot of reading on Roman history lately. Not because it's a means to an end, but it's the end in itself. I don't expect it to help me advance my career or make me money, but just learning about something that I think is cool and engaging in something makes my whole self feel good.
I honesty think depression for most people can be solved by simply engaging in something. It seems like it's a result of a lack of '''doing''' if that makes any sense. If you aren't actively pursuing a goal or mastery of something and just sitting on your ass play games like I did, you're doomed.
>>40042495
>being this bad at "cooking"
>>40041706
>>40042505
I am not too sure what you are struggeling with, but i am simply looking for a set of exeriences (a SET; i don't mean to ask about a single exercise) that works "the upper back" (meaning everything important for strength) well.
>>40042467
And actually the style ripp teaches them or wut?
And is that all you would do for upper back?
>>40042524
So two exercises, 100 reps total per exercise?
>>40042552
Shrugs are something i never did ever. People on /plg/ always said deadlifts hit them enough.
I have no traps, but my deadlift is also shit.
What's your thought on that?
>>40041558
I can't figure out how you made that look so easy
is it just because you can deadlift 800lbs or something?
or if you had gone for a second rep, would you have actually struggled (to some extent) with it?
>>40042608
Where / how does OHP fit in? From what i gathered, OHPing kind of competes with benching.
As in you'd have to replace one of your bench session with OHP, likely slowing down your bench progress a little.
>>40042634
>deadlifts hit traps enough so you dont have to isolate them
yes but if you want to particularly concentrate on upper back then shrugs are a must for juics traps
i personally do shrugs because my genetics lack them
>>40042634
>I have no traps, but my deadlift is also shit.
work on your deadlift then. how can a deadlift be shit? just eat and deadlift. stick your ass out as hard as you can
>>40042634
Deadlift
Chinup
OHP
Front Squat
I'm struggling to answer because it's a weird question with the answer being: all major compounds.
If you ask specifically "I want to improve my thoracic spinal erectors" or "stronger lower traps" I'd give you a specific list of exercises.
>>40042649
See pic related
When i do bent over barbell-rows i feel like i need to minimize this kind of ... jerking movement that chris does extremely exaggerated here:
https://youtu.be/kjdrDGlPz78?t=1m48s
Do i want this kind of jerking movement or not? I mean, perfect form would mean that just my arms move, right?
>>40042702
right. learn to breathe and brace correctly. nice and tight
>>40042628
is that an atlas stone?
>>40042702
what the guy in the video does has nothing to do with rows. hes basically pause deadlifting and fucking his back up
>>40042626
that would be delicious but anything thatis not the breast is excess calories and im a cutting fag rite now

yes
>>40042729
>tfw it's not your stones she's stepping on
>>40042186
>i just dont understand how you can gain bones when youre not growing anymore.
Wolff's law probably.
>>40042729
Are you?
how do i train for strength when all powerlifting programs are about 3 big lifts and i can't do two of them because of my spine?
>>40042765
wew. That is a fine ladee right there
>>40042775
Steal the spine of the recently deceased and otherwise healthy and transplant it for your own.
>>40042786
mfw didn't save her name because I figured I'd remember it, but then I forgot.
Same with this one :)
>>40042775
You do variants that are as similar as you can get without being in pain when training them.
Are ATG squats enough to develop both glutes and hamstrings? I've decided to stop deadlifting altogether and replace it with rows and pullups for my back. Goals are general strength and muscle building, NOT powerlifting
>>40040894
small as fuck
>>40042765
thick thighs are so sexy. overknee socks too
>>40042841
Squats are overrated for hamstrings and glutes. Deadlifts, RDL and good mornings are the best in that regard.
What prevents people from running a couple of cycles, gaining permanent benefits, cycling off and then competing in the ipf?
>>40042775
you dont
>>40042871
their consciousness and the fact they cant buy steroids in the supermarket
>>40042869
most of you around here are doing low bar parallel which is more of a lower back oriented squat, isn't that right? At this point I can't afford to do deadlifts since I can't prevent my lower back rounding. I could add leg curls tho
>>40042871
they'll lose all that from the differentiation in hormones
>>40042910
That's a common misconception. There reason you can lift more lowbar than high bar is because of better leverages. There's no significant differences in muscle activation between highbar and lowbar squats, and even under submaximal loads, front squats have no significant difference in muscle activation with back squats.
>>40041864
she's probably dead inside
Does PLG have any input
>>40041808
>>40042910
Honestly as long as you keep your back tight and the loads under control RDL and good mornings should be what you need.
>>40042932
Whenever the fuck you want.
>>40042932
>>40042934 was my answer in the thead.
I'm on the texas method and instead of doing
wed
squat 2x5
press/bench 3x5
back-ext 5x10
chins 3xf
could I do something like a good morning for 5x10 and cut out the back extension and squats?
>>40042920
but isn't it true that breaking parallel when squatting activates your hams and glutes more?
Because I can't really grasp the fact that with a let's say 4pl8 ATG squat I will have no ass, and I don't want anything to do with any type of deadlifting, at least for a while
>>40042946
Sorry for the plagiarism, only saw an OP preview :^)
>>40042968
You'll use your glutes no matter what, hamstrings are underutilized compared to your quads when squatting though. You'll still use them, just not as much as your quads or glutes no matter how deep you squat.
Good mornings and RDL are entirely safe alternatives to deadlifts if you keep the load light and under control.
>>40042968
the forward lean of a low bar will stretch out your hams and glutes, usually around parallel is where you reach their 'limit' hint: stretch reflex
usually an ATG will involve some sort of relaxing to achieve the depth
>>40042971
Common knowledge isn't plagiarism friend :)
What do you lads think is the easiest way to set up the best arch for a non-hyper flexible person?
>>40042374
Believe me Dude, the military won't solve your problems, I went in just a few months ago now, it's all the same, nothing ever changes, you're the same person, the people around you are still idiots and you just do it because you have nowhere else to go. I'm trapped living this life, there is no purpose, no bigger point, no true love, no family for us-I just wish there was some leader, a beacon of light in these dark times, who emerges from this filth.
Believe me, I have given up on it by now, I'm only 20 but I know that life has nothing to offer-im not even depressed, it's just realism at this point.
>>40042206
Because you're a presslet and need to try harder. How many of each can you do?
>>40042186
Bones do slightly grow/get thicker/denser with resistance training
>>40043065
how about giving back you cuck
>>40042672
>tfw zero access to 0.5kg microplates
do i just change up the rep scheme with OHP instead?
>187cm tall
>200cm wingspan
should i pull sumo or conventional?
im a noob, lifting for 4 months and my best conventional is150kg for one, and like 140kg sumo for 4 reps
Sumo feels extremely reliant on my legs whereas conventional feels like its all back
help a noob out lads
the answer is still probablly
>whatever feels best
but idk. sumo feels tighter and safer, but also more strain on hips probably mobility problem
>>40043062
Bumping this
I always feel a strain in my lower back when I want to set up.
That is because when i try to build the bridge the whole bent start in my lower back and I have to squeeze petty hard into my lower back in order to to get my upper back to arch - then I drop myself into the bench with the shoulder blades, push a little more into it with my feet and relax my Lower body, resting my ass.
But simply the force in my lower back to generate this setup hurts and doesn't feel to good to he honest.
>>40041035
>This is like a highschooler trying to say the current model for black holes doesn't make sense because it doesn't fit Newton's model of gravity.

>>40043101
What do you have in mind? I'm open to anything at this point.
>>40043172
You answered your own question desu. Just work on your hip mobility and don't neglect some hamstring work like RDL and good mornings.
What are some /plg/ approved "off season" programs? Lifts are only just advanced I'd say, DYEL though so looking to put on quite a bit of size. Obviously I'd like a program to be strength oriented at the same time?
Was maybe thinking of 5/3/1 big but boring, switching the OHP 5x10 to bench 5x10 for extra bench volume and running 2 cycles back to back before having a deload week adding plenty of accessories. Or maybe have a 4 day deload between cycles instead of a whole week.
pic related, bodyweight 72kg.

>>40040629
are there any strength programs that let you go rpe 8-10 for every set?
>>40043262
>>>>>>Offseason on plg
In all seriousness, do whatever you want. Garagebro was running the Journey by Cuckols, iirc, you could do Build The Monolith, Juggernaut 2.0, etc.
>>40043319
Well I'm not planning on competing so don't really need to peak, and desperately need to bulk. "Off season" was the best way I could think of describing it.
Thanks man, anymore you'd recommend?
I WANT TO CUDDLE WITH TRAPPY AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS
>>40043319
Also just looked at Building The Monolith, only bench once per week? Seen the best results before benching 3x per week, so I'd be inclined to switch press and bench so i bench 2x per week.
But then again in the back of my mind I'd can hear Wendler telling me to stop being a fag and do the program as prescribed...
>>40043275
Im not gay and I only post my body to get attention, it's the only way I feel validation my life at this point, only lifting helps me stay sane
I know that solitude is my fate, isnt youth too short? Its over so quickly and nobody desires you after you've gotten old. I just want to fade away from this earth, life is just a curse - why do I have nobody to share my life with? I feel so lonely

Doing 200 dips really works wonders for your bench. Also eating that much.
Quit being a fag and do the program, is my point.

I went to a doctor, and like I predicted, he said to stay off training for 10 days while taking ibuprofen 400mg 3 times daily. What a shocker!!! It was what I was going to do anyway.
I even showed him a video of my bench so he could look at my wrists.
>tfw getting form tips by doctor
